Business Matters: The Great Barrier Reef 01 Feb 14

Sat, 1 Feb 14

The largest living structure in the world, the Great Barrier Reef, is under threat again. A decision in Australia gives the developers of a huge coal port the right to dump three million tons of mud and silt on its doorstep. The director of the global marine programme at WWF International, John Tanzer tells us his disappointment at the decision. Also, Argentina's had a rough week with a plunging peso. But is the fact that people are using and hording more and more US dollars helping or hindering any economic solutions? And the transfer window in English Premier League soccer has just closed. Are the millions paid for players reflecting real value for money or do most clubs have to indulge in a little financial alchemy? Adam Morallee, partner and head of the sports group at the lawyers Mishcon de Reya, gives us his views. And Colin Peacock from Radio New Zealand gives his perspective on the big news stories of the day.
